[QUOTE="jwp475, post: 206930, member: 3776"] Ok, I sent an Email to Gerald Perry of Perry Systems and we chatted on the phone as well. This is the email that I sent. From: [email]JWP13051@aol.com[/email] [mailto:JWP13051@aol.com] Sent: Wednesday, May 14, 2008 9:06 AM To: [email]gperry@perry-systems.com[/email] Subject: Uphill, Downhill The Exbal program as far as I can tell doe not have a feature to indicate if the angle is uphill or downhill. The reason that I ask is that I was involved in a discussion and the affects of gravity on shooting uphill or downhill at 45 degree of angle. I took the position that it did not matter and a couple of guys claimed that gravity would effect velocity at Longer distances is this fact or not Thanks, XXXXXXX This is the reply that I recieved from Mr. Perry Gravity is not the issue for any minute difference between up hill and down hill shots. It is the air density differences which are pretty small unless you are shooting from an airplane. J Gerald L.
